LATE ECLIPSES cover debut!

[seanan_mcguire]

Psst. C'mere. Wanna see something really pretty? I mean, really pretty? I'll give you a hint: if you're a Toby fan, it's something you've been waiting for ever since the cover to An Artificial Night was released. I think you'll be pleased. I know I'm pleased.

Go ahead. Take a peek.

Behold the pretty:




OH MY GOD YOU GUYS OH MY GOD IT'S THE COVER TO LATE ECLIPSES AND IT'S GORGEOUS!

I really think this is the best one—and the most Toby one—yet.

What do you think?

Wow.

This is an amazing cover. And I particularly like the Campbell tag on the front.

I ADORE Toby's outfit!

[technoshaman.livejournal.com]

+1. Nothing left to be said...

And it even has an ISBN

[maverick-weirdo.livejournal.com]

Very nice

Is this one also by Chris McGrath?

Re: And it even has an ISBN

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Yup. He's guaranteed through book five.

[vulpine137.livejournal.com]

Looks good. Yay for you :)

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Glee. :)

[bookblather.livejournal.com]

Duuuude, Toby looks awesome! She's rocking the dress. And probably hating it.

Love the Campbell tag!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Me, too. :)

[priscellie.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous! Can't wait to get my paws on this one. Chris did an excellent job. Though I must say the Campbell Award tag is my favourite part. :D

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Chris rocks my world.

[les121.livejournal.com]

Whoa, the awesomeness of this cover is giving me goosebumps. I love Toby's dress with the leather jacket - perfect!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

She's so very Toby. It's wonderful.

[jimhines.livejournal.com]

Very nice! I really like the colors for this one.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Me, too. I love how the covers are so consistent, and so different, at the same time.

[keristor.livejournal.com]

I can haz a Toby plz? *g*

That is srsly cool, and with the Campbell credit as well (are they going to reprint the others with that now, so our pre-Campbell ones will become collectors' copies?). So I've lost track, how many of the Toby books are bought now? I take it this means that Late Eclipses is welll in the pipeline, since it has a cover.

[dornbeast.livejournal.com]

The last I remember, DAW had bought five.

I think that the number is going to go up at some time in the next six months. I don't have any inside knowledge; I'm just assuming that between "best new writer" and continued good sales, DAW isn't going to let go.

[vixyish.livejournal.com]

You really have the best cover artist ever.

Also, Campbell!

Also, PURPLE.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Total victory all the way around.

[mithriltabby]

And it’s already available for preorder!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Yup!

[mathsnerd]

I WANT IT I WANT IT I WANT IT I WANT IT IWANTIT IWANTIT IWANTIT IWANTITIWANTITIWANTIT!!!!!!

Can NOT wait! *bounces and squees* Gimme, gimme, gimme! Toby just gets Toby-er, on every cover, but that doesn't surprise me, because the illustrator is getting to know her better and better, just as we are. *g*

And I think the Campbell Award tag is just awesome. Way to remind EVERYONE that YOU are the Princess of the Tiara. ;)

[cleothyla.livejournal.com]

I agree with everything you just said!!!

[aryana-filker.livejournal.com]

Awesome!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Glee. :)

[brightlotusmoon.livejournal.com]

OMIGODS OMIGODS THIS IS SO EXCITING! That is truly one of the prettiest book covers I have ever seen.

(Also, Toby looks like some of my cousins on my father's side, which is interesting to me.)

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

I cried. I love book covers that make me cry.

[apocalypticbob.livejournal.com]

AWESOME!!!

This cover actually inspires me to cosplay Toby.

*begins sourcing appropriate trim*

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

World of win!

[dornbeast.livejournal.com]

I think this may be the best-lit cover yet. Not that there's any reason that the previous covers should have had more light, just that I like covers with enough light for good contrast.

Toby looks very much herself, with the dress giving the impression of Court formal, the leather jacket as a symbol of her human side, and her knife and whatever-that-is in her right hand representing her heroic nature.

For a change of pace, she doesn't look like somebody magically decaffeinated all the coffee in the house.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

I think it's the most Toby-looking cover yet, and it just makes me absolutely happy.

[roadnotes.livejournal.com]

Oh, baby... that cover rocks. (By the way, I just picked up the latest one yesterday, and am about to dive into it.)

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[jacylrin.livejournal.com]

I love the dress plus leather jacket thing. How very Toby. I assume the title will wind up some sort of OMG NEON like the other ones. It is a VERY awesome cover. Plus SQUEEEEE!!!! on the Campbell award note :-)

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Like you're going to get her out of her jacket for long for anything short of nuclear winter? Nuh-uh.

[ladymondegreen.livejournal.com]

OMG! Late Eclipses has a cover! Toby's holding the goblet! And is that her dagger?

Eeeeee!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Yes!

[valkyrwench.livejournal.com]

That is a GREAT cover. *wanders off to pre-order*

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Glee. :)

[ohari.livejournal.com]

She's holding the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch!

I love it. Thank You for sharing!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

*giggling madly*

[pyre006.livejournal.com]

*squee* love the leather jacket and the campbell mention and the ominous sky in the background :)

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

I'm so pleased. So, so pleased.

[valdary.livejournal.com]

took 5 mins to load on son's little netbook, but worth the wait, As soon as I saw half the face I was thinking Toby is looking very Toby. I feel I'd recognise her in the street. I know you won't tell me what's with the orb she's holding, whether it's a receptacle, or belongs to a monarch's jewels. Lovely cover.

[aliciaaudrey.livejournal.com]

Is it an orb? I thought it was a goblet.

[angel-vixen.livejournal.com]

That...that is just WOW.

AngelVixen :-)

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

I'm totally thrilled.

[miladygrey.livejournal.com]

That cover is gorgeous. Toby's expression clearly says "Yes, I'm wearing a skirt and bodice, and if you make any sort of comment about it I will CUT YOU." Can't wait!

[sleary.livejournal.com]

Also, "Yes, I'm still wearing Tybalt's jacket, and if you attempt to make any sort of comment about it I will cut you before the sound escapes your throat."

Love it.

[kyburg.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes, complete agreement here. Nummy!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

I'm pleased.
